Naturally occurring phytopathogens enhance biological control of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) by Megamelus scutellaris (Hemiptera: Delphacidae), even in eutrophic water.

, 2016
Insect biological control agents directly damage target weeds by removal of plant biomass, but herbivorous insects have both direct and indirect impacts on their host plants and can also facilitate pathogen infection.

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

Effects of X‐Ray Irradiation on the Biological Parameters, Gut Microbiota, and Gene Expression of Bactrocera dorsalis: Implications for the Sterile Insect Technique

Evolutionary Applications
The sterile insect technique (SIT), traditionally reliant on gamma irradiation, has been an effective strategy for controlling Bactrocera dorsalis. However, strict regulations governing gamma radiation sources and the limited research on the responses of

RNAi-mediated suppression of toll-like receptor NlToll1 enhances Nilaparvata lugens susceptibility to entomopathogenic fungal infection

Biological Control
The brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens, is the most devastating insect pest of rice. Biological control with fungal entomopathogens is an attractive alternative to chemical pesticides for controlling BPH.

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Compatibility of biocontrol agents with host plant resistance for management of the South American tomato pinworm Phthorimaea absoluta

Biological Control
Integrating host plant resistance with biocontrol agents represents a promising strategy for sustainable management of Phthorimaea (Tuta) absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), an invasive pest that poses a significant global threat to tomato ...

Septin 9 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

Sweetpotato whitefly: prospects for biological control

California Agriculture, 1992
The damage to desert agricultural crops in Southern California and Arizona in fall-winter 1991 by the sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) is unprecedented in the history of the South west.
